It's funny that people often claim that Jeorg isn't very safe with his tests, but the dude doubles up on the rubbers every time!

Due to shortage of Ammo, THERE WILL BE NO WARNING SHOT! Sorry for the inconvenience...

all it's going to take is 1 person successfully defending themselves with a spear gun and they'll get added to the restricted list buy while you can

"It takes 200 strokes to get harder"

Handy if you ever get burgled by a rogue tuna

Nice video but the pneumatic spearguns don't need pumping up every time, they use the compressed air like a spring and no air actually escapes, you simply re-compress it after each shot!

I absolutely love that you are unapologetic about home defense weaponry and blatantly skirting the stupid laws many of us have to deal with. Your home is your castle, only you can defend it.

Joerg, the air powered one doesn't need to be pumped every time, it's a piston that fires it, the air is just compressed in it. The speargun it selves doesn't let out any air what so ever, so to load it all u need to do is push the am spear in it

Every time you say "Let me show you its features!" it makes me extremely happy.

10:18 Thanks for catching me joerg! that would have sucked!

200 strokes and it gets succesively harder...

Mr. Sprave, The compressed air speargun you used is sealed, in other words it does not loose air pressure when shot. It works by compressing a piston when the spear shaft is loaded. These type of speargun usually ship pressurized from the factory and I think that's why it was difficult for you to pressurize again using the hand pump. I think that you may have doubled the safe working pressure of the speargun. This is a very dangerous situation and I recommend purging all the pressure out of the speargun and pressurizing it again to the manufacturers specifications. I own these types of spearguns and I use the pump maybe once a year as some air may seep out due to heavy use and old seals.

Shit!! I was just in the process of hiring a bunch of fish to break into your house and now that whole plan is out the window!! Thanks!

If you're going to fire a speargun when you're not underwater, make sure you remove the tether that attaches the spear to the speargun. If you don't, the spear can come back at you when it reaches the end of the tether.

Joerg, I love this channel. Your exuberance and presentation bravado, infectious laugh, and the outrageous stuff you get up to have me laughing so hard I nearly pee myself. Always great fun to watch! Keep up the great work.

LMAO Joerg YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUMP IT UP TO RELOAD IT WTF!!!! The air does not escape when you fire it. When you put the spear in, it pushes back a piston which moves forward again when you shoot it. The air slowly leaks out over a very long time, you can fire it hundreds of times without having to pump it. I'm worried that you overpressurized that speargun, I can't imagine the pressure in there when you pumped it up when it was fully pumped from the beginning.

pneumatic doesn't require pumping after every shot, it doesn't lose pressure when you shoot. The air inside does not escape. The pump is for times when you bleed air out of the back valve for a lower pressure or maintanance (changing worn out o rings) which is about maybe once every other year. On the other hand you will wear out the o rings very quickly if you shoot it out of the water. There are some pneumatics that are designed to shoot out of water but they are very rare like the mares bazooka.

I use my bow fishing kit for home defense, a convenient string is attached to the arrow so I can simply reel in the bad guys.

I love the analysis you do of the various items you use, it shows you're passionate about this stuff and it adds to the videos you put out. I love your videos Joerg, keep up the good work.

Ich freue mich schon auf deine Version davon 😉. Ich finde das richtig Klasse mit was für einer Begeisterung du das immer machst. Sie ist schon fast ansteckend. Weiter so !

I actually use LEGO bricks as home defense. I have them placed around my home, and only I and other residents of my home know where they are. I've installed X-Acto blades and other sharp spikes into them to provide a bit of puncturing power if the intruder wears boots or shoes. Without the blades or spikes, LEGO bricks are still powerful items for home defense, but they don't just get the job done without them.

Thank you for sharing I never thought of this as a home protection

I live in America, in the mitten state of Michigan, I don't have to improvise for a firearm, but as a recreational device I could have fun impaling things with one.. As always great video Jeorg!

Love your channel man, one of my favorites, keep them coming!

1:44 It has no fletching because its meant to travel THROUGH WATER, not air. Fletching would be a major source of drag for a projectile in water: the water flow along the shaft stabilizes the projectile - no fletching needed. 6:00 You could add one of the CO2 canisters with a valve to the gas operated one. Open a valve, equalize pressure, close the valve, load the spear, a helluva lot faster than manually pumping the damn thing.

The slingshot channel has always been one of my faves just so entertaining and very interesting. I know people have used this joke before, but “Let me show you it’s features” would be the last thing an intruder heard before meeting a gruesome death 🤣

Great reviews thank you. The air spear gun can fire more than one shot without needing to be pumped up again. Pumping it 200 times would give you enough in reserve to fire 3 decent shots. Each one a bit less powerful than the one before, but still very effective. I think one crucial thing with either gun as a home defense weapon, is to have a couple of extra spears for reloading.

Joerg, the pneumatic speargun can only be puped once to desired power, and then used for 100+ shots. The air is compressed by the piston while you reload, so it does not escape, after some time you have to check the seals and add a few pumps :) Cheers from the coast of Slovenia :)

I love it if he says Let me Show you its Features! It just makes my day 😂😂😂😂

While I'd personally prefer a handgun or shotgun for home defense, I think a spear gun would be pretty effective. If I was a criminal, and I saw a huge spear embed itself in the wall next to me, I'd be like "Fuck this! This guy's crazy!"

Great stuff. I hope you can do a whole series on home defense. One thing I came up with is a crossbow marble/steel ball shooter that has a removeable clip.

Joerg the hole at the muzzle end is to add another round band for added power. So the other notch on the shaft is for the second band. That's why there's two notches on the shaft. The wishbone that hooks to the shaft from the rubber band doesn't need to be metal. We here in Hawaii don't normally use metal wishbones because they are to loud under water. We use a strong cord of about 4 inches long with a knot tied at each end. Push the knot into the band far enough so you can tie a holding knot with something similar to dental floss but thicker and also waxed like dental floss. Tie about 15 to 20 knot to hold in place.Also can't wait to see what you have in store for the next video.Aloha, Nate.

Bro, you don't pump it every time you reload!

The pneumatic speargun should b able to fire repeatedly the by just reinserting the spear shaft. Something is wrong here. Maybe he simply doesn't realize this! My Mares gun shoots forever. It would be useless for spearfishing otherwise. I'm sure that his is the same.

Thanks for uploading this, I always have wondered how they would preform. It would be nice if they did have fetching. And stocks. Also you could maybe try a divers bottle and find the right attachment to use on the compressed air one.

Hi! 1st- once you pump it it stays pumped unless is faulty it's "air spring" by pumping you increase the power. 2nd- the loop at the front of your rubber speargun is an eye it's also for quick attaching extra rubber tubing. And then you using both slots on spear.

is there anything more badass then a harpoon that works on 12ga blanks for home defense?

1:34

holy hell that's awesome! I have wondered this for a long time. great job

another great video as always can't wait for next week to see the 2 shot speargun !!!

you do realize that you only pump up that spear gun every like 10 or so shots, you just put the spear back in and fire it again and again and again FYI

Joerg, apart from these videos, what kind of job do you do? Are you an engineer?

very nice video. thank you for your effort to deliver us a complete review of home defense with spearguns.

Hello, Joerg! I am discovering your channel right now. (A lil' bit late, right....?) It is pretty interesting. I like your charm and common sense (!?) when testing a weapon. And I had become a trully fan of your home-made perfect crossbow (not the spear trower of this vid). Nice work. I will take a look to the other vids. Congrats from Argentina, friend! (Y)

Can you make a video that shows us how to shoot/aim with a slingshot? :D

Joerg you don't have to pump up the air powered spear gun every time. The air stays inside the gun and it can be reused hundreds of times.

I really love your modifications you make !! :D

I think your videos are awesome, I'm also an avid spearfisherman. One thing i'd recommend is to change the wishbone from a metal one to cord. (especially firing dry, you wouldn't want any breakage and that hook of metal becoming a elastic projectile). otherwise awesome idea!

Nice! Some people make spear guns out of teak wood! They are pretty expensive and are considered high end quality! So I would say that it politically correct to use wood for making something like that! In any case, your videos are really awesome, I really enjoy them! :)

When you are defending your family there should be no warning shot. You don't know what kind of weapons the other person has. The first shot should be the kill shot.

Sooo close to the 1 million!! Keep it going Joerg! :)

great video Joerg! I believe that the consensus of the self defence community however would be that warning shots give an opportunity for you adversary to retaliate! Better to use your backup shot as an 'in case you miss'!

warning shots are a mistake. if someone is in your house and stealing or intending to do harm, they're fair game. two shots would be better for the chance for a follow up shot in case the first missed or was ineffective.

My friend, I really appreciate this video. Everyone has the natural right to defend their home and their family. The spear gun is a good option to be honest. It will certainly stop an intruder, and may have the advantage of being less lethal (thereby shielding the defender from prosecution). Only problem is it takes a while to reload, so your first shot has to count. I just hope that the megalomaniacs in government don't get the idea to now ban spear guns in your country. As an American I will say that the ability to defend your home and family is a consequence of the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. However, that is not the primary purpose of that amendment. Really, it is to hold the government always at the risk of revolution if it tramples on the natural rights of the people.

Great feed and information.. And always entertaining luv ya

love ur videos! keep up the great work!!!

Finally! I can now defend my home from being attacked by schools of tuna or maybe the odd marlin here or there.

"HAW HAW HAW HAW" Something no mugger or burglar ever wants to hear in the dark.

I think that your best bet for a double shooter would be using both methods (rubber and air). For instance, you could encase the air one in a chassis that allowed for a rubber shooter up top

Makes me Thankful for my .45 in nightstand. Cool ideas, Amazing creativity. Great channel !

You could use a compressor or c02 cartriges to load it

Saving up for a new beard slingshot? ;)

Congrats on a million dude u deserve it!

1) the pneumatic speargun only needs to be filled/pumped up once, the air doesn't leave the system when you shoot. (the pump is included so that you can release the pressure for matinence or long term storage and still get it back up to pressure after) 2) on the band speargun, the spear itself has two notches so that you can use 2 bands. the circle in the front of the gun is where you would attach a second band. so sure you can add thera band, but you can also add a second speargun band, a thicker/stronger speargun band, and make the band a bit shorter.

10:19 That mini heart attack lol. Beep = Scheisse?

"welcome to the sling-shot channel, HAHA HAHA! " I love this guy :)

Really cool home defence weapon ;-). The power of the compressed air version is really awesome... But I liked the pimped rubber operated version more, because of the reloading time.. Great video

Hi +JoergSprave , the ring at the end of the muzzle is for additional bands, but you probably have worked that out by now, nice vid as usual!

Hello there ! İ am a big fun of slingshots and catapults and watched all of your videos, told my friends about your channel too:) so as i can see you are very open to your subscribers demends and ideas; so i've came up with and idea. My idea for you to test is a slingshot that shots a second slingshot which is preloaded that releases its load at end of the first slingshots muzzle when it is at its highest speed by a mechanism which i am sure you'll figure out how, in order for the second slingshot to shoot correctly the 2nd slingshot should be going in some sort of rail mounted on the largest slingshot. İ am sure that it'll be interesting to see on slow motion a slingshot shot by an other larger one reaching these high speeds and also shooting maybe a marble or bb, and theoreticaly since the small slingshot will already be at a high speed right before it shoots its load the acutal shot of the bb from the 2nd slingshot would be super fast and powerful ! Looking forward to see it!:)

I want to see someone break into Joerg's house

that psi powered one is a monster though. i wonder if you could attach a compressed air canister to it and make a crossbow pull lever style loader for it. and just make it a beast.

The hole at the gun attachment at the end of the tube is designed for a second piece of elastic tubing. You can use as thick and as short (more tension) as you can pull back. Then you hook one on spear slot one, and the other on slot two. All my spearguns are doubled up, giving them far more power.

looking big joerg, what is your training/diet like?

What about a version that uses compressed air cartridges, so reloading is quicker?

Thank you for your show! You sir are an inspiration!

I do spearfishing allot and have to say: 1) You don't have to pump pneumatic gun after each shoot, but shooting it out of the water is definitely damaging the gun. 2)There is much better ways to do sling speargun stronger: a)There is special hole in front of the "barrel", throw that hole you can add another sling. b)Existing sling can be made shorter, or replaced buy more powerful sling (20 mm sling)

I still prefer guns for home defence

they really need to let you all have firearms again.

Hi Joerg, I am hunting with a spear guns for many years and I also prefer the one with rubbers :) , but I'm pretty sure that you are able to reuse the air gun without repumping it again, it would be useless for spear fishing! I'm sure you already realised that! :) Also you can use additional single rubber (use the hole on the tip of the gun and load it to the second slot available on the spear). That way you have much more power, because you are loading each rubber separately. I would like to see the penetration difference! :) Regards Dionysios

Quite a powerful tool and conceptually this is quite similar to a slingbow or a crossbow powered with rubber. A Speargun is definitely worth checking out as an alternative weapon for SHTF scenarios.

An Israeli friend I worked with said this of his time in the army, "First, you shoot the man, then you fire a warning shoot to explain him you shot him"

ok idk why but it looked like there was a green screen behind you this entire video...

Compressed air can kill so be very careful.

I never knew this is for home defence. I use it for spear fishing...

WHAT IS THAT BEARD

No offense Joerg, but it's quite dangerous to condone warning shots, both legally and "tactically". Legally-- 1.) In many countries/states, firing a weapon as a threat is illegal unless you are in direct fear for your life. Your ability and decision to fire a warning shot can legally put this direct fear in question. In the US, classes teach not to use your weapon unless you mean to kill, because anything less does not require it and will become increasingly more difficult to defend in a court of law. That's not something you want trouble defending. Everyone should know their local laws and learn what they mean in practical situations. 2.) It's difficult or impossible for many people to fire a warning shot in a safe direction in their living situation. You are legally and morally responsible for the warning bullet you put into the baby's crib down the street, or shot in the air and landed in someone's yard. Tactically-- You've now missed on purpose, and Johnny-meths-a-lot might just start shooting with HIS gun. Now you're in a gunfight, maybe with your family in the house on top of it. You've also wasted ammunition, which is catastrophic in a weapon that has low capacity. If you use 1 out of your 2 shots to warn someone trying to hurt or kill you, you're in for a very bad time. You should ALWYAS have a flashlight to ID the person, and know whether it's the drunk college kid walking into the wrong house, or Johny-meths-a-lot with a .45 in his hand. Option A. doesn't get shot at all, while option B. doesn't get a warning shot at all.

I live in the US and of all the firearms or weapons that we can obtain, I would rather be shot than stabbed. and the thought of a spear gun going through my chest vs a bullet...ya, no thanks.... now i want a spear gun to add to my home defense collection.

Is youtube your job or do you have an other job ?

You get way more street cred shooting burglars with spear guns, glock 9mm are for lightweights! Hahahaha.. Turning up at A&E pinned to a door would be most embarrassing.

Cops: "Do you always keep a loaded speargun in your bedroom?" Joerg: "Do you always let criminals break into people's bedrooms?"

I don't need home defense, I have a dog.

1:33 why is that beeb there?

If you're going to take someone out with a spear gun you have to decide whether to say "GET OVER HERE," or go oldschool and quote Dirty Harry by saying "you're shit out of luck."

Hello und whalecum tuh teh shlungshut chennal

"It takes about 200 strokes and it gets succesivelly harder." Hmmm.... sorry just still not recovered from your viagra video.

Im not sure if anyone has already posted this but you don't need to pump the air version every time, its just if it gets low, you should be able to shoot 20 or so times before needing to re pump

Damn are you at any time not a mad genius Jeorg? Amazing creation yet again. My favourite it still your decapitator from the witch episode. All the weapons from that special were nasty

You CAN get a second band into the notch in front. It's just very difficult. Do it when you're in a warm room and the plastic end has been warm for several hours. This will prevent brittle plastic and cracking.

one of my favourite things about watching ur videos is that Germany is much more into the metric system than the US and as a Canadian I highly value this

Superb ,you do the stuff that matters,,,have know dout ,Ur a bloody legend m8,,from country Australia
